I think most of us have our moments of weakness. Just try your best to keep your mind on the right track. You will be okay.

Yes. Became lactose intolerant about two weeks post op. Lasted for about six weeks. Felt horrible.

Years ago when my kids were little we watched the movie Kangaroo Jack. There was a guy named Jackie Leggs. My name is Jackie just spelled Jaci so Jacileggs was born. I also use it for most things.

Hope things are going well for you.

Today I realized that my boobs stick out farther than my tummy. Yahoo!!!

There is a lot of judgement going on here. No one knows what a person is going through in their life. Who are we to judge them? I agree it is frustrating to see people seriously fall off the wagon on their food plan. But we are not them. They fight their battles and we fight ours.

I have suffered from depression for 14 years since my divorce. On and off medication through the years. I am three months post op for gastric bypass. Down total of 75 lbs. I am currently off my cymbalta and feeling better than I ever have in my life. Hope it continues.

My gerd has also resolved since surgery.

Down 76 lbs total. Feeling great!

Yes I also lose hair by the handful. It's crazy. Luckily I had super thick hair to start. No one probably notices but me. But it's still aggravating.

I chose bypass also. I had gerd and it resolved with surgery. I only have had two dumping episodes. One from eating too much fat and one from eating too much. Sweets don't bother me at all.

At first I wasn't going to tell. But then I decided not to be ashamed of my choice and spilled the beans. There will be those who don't agree but it's really none of their business.

I had horrible bruising. Lasted several weeks.

Lethbridge. Had gastric bypass Jan 21/14 in Medicine Hat.

Amazing transformation. Keep it up.

I am down 70lbs. 40 more to go.

Me too. I find I don't eat enough. When I am able to eat more my weight drops. Its the metabolism that gets too low.

I had gastric bypass and they repaired my hiatal hernia at the same time. Easy peasy. Mine was all covered by my provincial health care plan. It did require jumping through all the required hoops first though.

That's great. It's worth the wait. And jumping through the hoops.

I decided to just go ahead and tell people. I am not ashamed of having wls. It was my decision and I decided to be proud of myself for being proactive with my health. I personally don't care if people don't agree with it. It's not their health at stake it's ours.

I had my gastric bypass done in Medicine Hat jan 21/14. I am currently 43lbs from goal. Down 67 lbs from highest weight. 26lbs since surgery.

Awesome! Congrats.

I'm guessing you live in central or northern alberta. The wait in the south region isn't nearly as long. I waited 8 months from referral to the clinic to surgery. I had booked to have it done in great falls but decided to save the $15000 and wait. Glad I did. Good luck to you.

It is covered in Alberta. I didn't have to pay a cent.

Medicine Hat, Alberta. Jan 21, 2014. Gastric bypass.
